Yesterday we took a Ferry ride. On our way back home we were surprised to see Santa in the car behind us. The bigger surprise happened when Santa came to our car to greet our kids. They were so excited to see him. He definitely had his "ho, ho, ho" down pat. In fact that is mostly what he said the whole time. The boys quickly told them what they wanted for Christmas. He gave them each a candy cane and walked away as bells jingled around him.
Fast forward to the next day, today. We took our family to a Christmas Carnival. Part of the festivities included a picture with Santa Claus. It went pretty smoothly even though I feared at least one of my children would not participate. Surprisingly did they not only participate they also told Santa what they wanted while giving him a high five. As we were walking away my oldest son said "hey, we saw you on the ferry yesterday." I was caught off guard and had to quickly respond with a "yes, Santa, don't you remember we saw you on the ferry last night." Santa, being the wonderful person that he is, said "oh, yes and you might see me somewhere else too."
I will have to be a little more careful about what I say and how I say it. These magical moments are just too precious to ruin.
